The league is unlikely to alter the rules to address the 'Hack-a-Shaq' strategy, according to commissioner Adam Silver.

There was a "strong sense" among the league's board of governors and competition committee that the rule should not be changed. Fantasy owners can feel free to punt FT percentages after drafting Andre Drummond, DeAndre Jordan or Dwight Howard this season, as they'll once again be parading to the line. Jul 14 - 8:26 PM

The Pistons will begin talks with Andre Drummond regarding a long-term contract extension in the next couple of weeks.

Drummond is clearly the face of the franchise, and this will be one of the easiest decisions Stan Van Gundy has to make. Drummond has made it clear that he wants to stick around in Detroit, so the two sides should have no problem reaching an agreement on a max deal. Look for him to build off a solid 2014-15 season in which he averaged 13.8 points, 13.5 boards and 1.9 blocks without missing a single game. Jul 12 - 10:29 AM

Andre Drummond wants to sign an extension with the Pistons this offseason, a source told the Detroit Free Press.

Drummond, still on his rookie deal, is eligible to sign a long-term extension, and with the Pistons planning to build around him for the foreseeable future under Stan Van Gundy, the two sides shouldn't have much of an issue in terms of finding common ground when it's time to sit at the negotiating table.

Brandon Jennings (Achilles) is progressing in his rehab, but still isn't running and may miss the start of the regular season, according to Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy.

While Jennings is aiming to be ready for the start of the regular season, Van Gundy doesn't seem to think that's a sure thing. "Obviously still not at the point of running or anything," Van Gundy said. "Can start to do a little bit more activity all the time. We're hopeful. We've still got about 14 weeks before the season opens. We've got a long time. We're hoping that he will be back and ready to play but it may not be at the beginning of the year." We'll keep an eye on Jennings' progress, but he's not much more than a late-round flier in standard fantasy league drafts at this point.
